C#

string _currentText = "";
        void textBox1_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            TextBox __textBox = sender as TextBox;
            if (__textBox != null)
            {
                string __currentText = __textBox.Text;
                if (__currentText.Length < _currentText.Length)
                    _currentText = _currentText.Substring(0, __currentText.Length);
                if (__currentText != "")
                {
                    for (int i = 0; i < __currentText.Length; i++)
                    {
                        if (__currentText[i] != '\u25CF')
                        {
                            System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(100); // Can change the time to make character visible
                            string __temp = __currentText.Remove(i, 1);
                            __textBox.Text = __temp.Insert(i, "\u25CF");
                            _currentText = _currentText.Insert
                    (_currentText.Length, __currentText[i].ToString());
                        }
                    }
                }
